Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered Indiathe Sukhoi Su-57, Russia's fifth-generation stealth fighter, and proposed joint production of the aircraft in India, underscoring the long-standing strategic partnership between the two countries. Moscow has been New Delhi's principal defence supplier for decades.

Against this backdrop, India has launchedthe Advanced Multirole Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme, an ambitious indigenous project aimed at developing the country's own fifth-generation fighter jet.

Russia went on to develop it independently.

We don’t have any issues or limitations,” the Russian president said. The renewed Russian offer comes at a critical time for India’s airpower modernization plans. India does not have a fifth-generation fighter. The most advanced fighter jet …
